I visited DC last summer for the first time since I was a kid. It was my birthday weekend, which also happened to be July 4th weekend so it was a great time to visit our nation’s capital. Hellooo fireworks. We didn’t plan too many things but rather improvised most of the trip. With all […]
Faith in Curls Curly Haircut Experience
If you’re curly headed like me, you know the struggle of finding a stylist who loves styling curls. To our disadvantage, most stylists love to straighten and process hair. It’s their craft.

Dos & Don’ts for Naturally Curly Hair
I’m so happy to see the natural hair movement that has emerged in recent years. I’ll be honest. For years I thought I needed to “tame” my hair in ordered to be perceived as a “professional.” But now that I’m over society’s nonsense, I’m focused on making my curls as healthy as can be. Too […]
The Secret to Backpack-Only Travel
When I tell my friends I only bring a backpack on most of my trips, they look at me like I’m crazy. Granted, I’m not one to wear a full face of makeup or blow dry my hair every day (or ever, really …) but I’ve seen girls who do successfully backpack it for trips. […]

5 Must-See Things in Costa Rica
Last March, I booked a flight to Costa Rica (my first Central American country) with the intent of attending a yoga and surf retreat.

Florida Girls Weekend | Exploring St. Augustine via Bicycle
I live in Central Florida and the area is a treasure trove of adventure. But although I’ve lived here for a long, long time, I feel that I haven’t been the best at exploring near home. I’m making it my mission to change that. While St. Augustine wasn’t *technically* a new destination for me, I had lots to discover.
#Come2Germany Trip Day Two: Shops and Cars in Munich
To begin Day Two in Munich, I met Rupert of the Munich Tourist Office to make our way to Brienner-Quarter, a historic shopping district that has been around since 1826.
